Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt has inspired the French choreographer Martin Harriague to make a new dance production ‘Crocodile’ which will take place in September and November in the theaters of France. 

Four years after Fossil, a duo inspired by the ecological emergency and the links between man and his planet, Martin Harriague once again chooses the form of the duo, this time delivering a dance of love which at first glance , might seem far from the social and environmental concerns that have marked his works…

Crocodile stages the coming together of two bodies which agree, punctuate each other, question each other as so many words come together during a meeting: that of the choreographer and the dancer Émilie Leriche with whom he creates and performs the room. The bodies come closer, avoid each other, follow each other, brush against each other and then end up touching. The gazes hold on, never letting go, in an unpredictable, hypnotic and moving synchronism.

A refined and delicate piece oscillating between attraction and repulsion, softness and clash, in which the choreographer translates love and its fragility through living bodies in search of harmony.
